Kratom is a tree native to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo, etc.). Its botanical name is Mitragyna speciosa. Kratom is in the same family as the coffee tree (Rubiaceae). The leaves of kratom have been used as an herbal drug from time immemorial by peoples of Southeast Asia. It is used in folk medicine as a stimulant (at low doses), sedative (at high doses), recreational drug, pain killer, medicine for diarrhea, and treatment for opiate addiction.
Kratom is legal in the United States. With the exception of laws passed in Wisconsin, Vermont, Tennessee and Indiana, Kratom is legal in the other 46 states. Bare in mind that these laws were passed based on nothing more than speculation and misinformation.
